Charlie and the MTA
D G
Let me tell you of a story 'bout a man named Charlie
D A7
On a tragic and fateful day.
D G
He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family,
D A7 D
Went to ride on the M T A.
D G
But will he ever return? No he'll never return,
D A7
And his fate is still unlearned.
D G
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
D A7 D
He's the man who never returned.
D G
Charlie handed in his dime at the Scully Square Station,
D A7
And he changed for Jamaica Plain.
D G
When he got there the conductor told him, "One more nickel!"
D A7 D
Charlie couldn't get off of that train.
D G
Now all night long Charlie rides through the stations,
D A7
Crying, "What will become of me?
D G
How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsey,
D A7 D
Or my brother in Roxbury?"
D G
Charlie's wife goes down to the Scully Square Station,
D A7
Every day at a quarter past two.
D G
And through the open window she hands Charlie his sandwich
D A7 D
As the train goes rumbling through.
D G
Now you citizens of Boston, don't you think it's a scandal,
D A7
How the people have to pay and pay?
D G
Fight the fare increase, vote for George O'Brien,
D A7 D
Get poor Charlie off the M T A!
Whale of a Tale
D G A
Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads
D G A
B whale of a tale or two
D G Bm A
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
D G D A
On nights like this with the moon above
D G D A
B whale of a tale and it's all true
D A D
I swear by my tattoo
Bm G D A
There was Mermaid Minnie, met her down in Madagascar
Bm G D A
She would kiss me, any time that I would ask her
Bm G D F#m A
Then one evening her flame of love blew out
D A
Blow me down and pick me up!
D A F#m D
She swapped me for a trout
D G A
Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads
D G A
B whale of a tale or two

D A D

Bm G D A
There was Typhoon Tessie, met her on the coast of Java
Bm G D A
When we kissed I bubbled up like molten lava
Bm G D F#m A
Then she gave me the scare of my young life
D A
Blow me down and pick me up!
D A F#m D
She was the captain's wife
D G A
Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads
D G A
B whale of a tale or two
D G Bm A
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
D G D A

Bm G
Then there was Harpoon Hannah
D A
Had a look that spelled out danger
Bm G D
My heart quivered when she whispered,
A
"I'm there, stranger"
Bm G
Bought her trinkets
D F#m A
That sailors can't afford
D F#m A
(Sailors can't afford)
D A
And when I spent my last red cent
D A D
She tossed me overboard!
D G A
Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads
D G A
B whale of a tale or two
D G Bm A
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved

Somebody That I Used to Know
[Intro]

Bm A Bm A
[Verse 1]
Bm A Bm A Bm A Bm A
Now and then I think of when we were together
Bm A Bm A Bm A Bm A
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Bm A Bm A
Told myself that you were right for me
Bm A Bm A
But felt so lonely in your company
Bm A Bm A Bm A Bm A
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
[Bridge]
Bm A Bm A
Bm A Bm A
Bm A Bm A
Bm A Bm A
[Verse]
Bm A Bm A Bm A Bm A
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Bm A Bm
Like resignation to the end
A Bm A Bm A
Always the end
Bm A Bm A
So when we found that we could not make sense
Bm A Bm A
Well you said that we would still be friends
Bm A Bm A Bm A Bm A
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
[Chorus]
Bm A G A
But you didn't have to cut me off
Bm A G
Make out like it never happened
A Bm
And that we were nothing
A G A
And I don't even need your love
Bm A
But you treat me like a stranger
G A
And that feels so rough
Bm A G A
You didn't have to stoop so low
Bm A G
Have your friends collect your records
A Bm
And then change your number
A G A
I guess that I don't need that though
Bm A G A
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
[Interlude]

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
Bm A Bm A Bm A Bm A
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
A
And I don't wanna live that way
A
Reading into every word you say
A
You said that you could let it go
A N.C.
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
[Chorus]
Bm A G A
But you didn't have to cut me off
Bm A G
Make out like it never happened

And that we were nothing
A G A
And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger

And that feels so rough

You didn't have to stoop so low

I guess that I don't need that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody… I used to know

The Mermaid
D G D
It was Friday morn when we set sail
G A D
And we were not far from the land
D G D
When the captain, he spied a mermaid so fair
G A D
With a comb and a glass in her hand
Refrain:
D A
And the ocean's waves do roll and the stormy winds do blow
D G D
And we poor sailors are skipping to the top
G A D
While the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
G A D
While the landlubbers lie down below
D G D
And up spoke the captain of our gallant ship
G A D
And a fine spoken man was he
D G D
This fishy mermaid has warned me of our doom
G A D
We shall sink to the bottom of the sea
Refrain
D G D
Then up spoke the cabin boy of our gallant ship
G A D
And brave young lad was he
D G D
Sayin' I have a sweetheart in Salem by the sea
G A D
And tonight she'll be weepin' for me
Refrain
D G D
And up spoke the cook of our gallant ship
G A D
And a crazy old butcher was he
D G D
I care much more for my pots and my pans
G A D
Than I do for the bottom of the sea
Refrain
D G D
Then three times around spun our gallant ship
G A D
And three times around spun she
D G D
And three times around spun our gallant ship
G A D
And she sank to the bottom of the sea
Refrain
The Unicorn
[Verse]
D G
A long time ago when the earth was green
A D Dsus2
There was more kinds of animals than you'd ever seen
D G
They'd run around free while the world was being born
D A D
But the loveliest of them all was the unicorn
[Chorus]
D G
There was green alligators and long necked geese
A D Dsus2
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
D G
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
D A D
The loveliest of all was the unicorn.
[Instrumental]
D A D
[Verse]
D G
Now god seen some sinning and it gave him a pain
A D Dsus2
And he says, stand back, "I'm going to make it rain!"
D G
He says, "Hey, brother Noah I'll tell you what to do,
D A D
Build me a floating zoo,"
Dsus2
"and take some of them…."
[Chorus]
D G
Green alligators and long necked geese,
A D Dsus2
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
D G
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born.
D A D
Don't you forget my unicorn."
[Instrumental]
D A D
[Verse]
D G
Old Noah was there to answer the call,
A D Dsus2
He finished up making the ark just as the rain started pourin'
D G
He marched in the animals two by two,
D A A
And he called out as they went through,
"Hey lord,"
[Verse]
D G
I got your green alligators and long necked geese,
A D Dsus2
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees,
D G
Some cats and rats and elephants, but lord, I'm so forlorn,
D A D
I just can't see no unicorn!"
[Instrumental]
D A D
[Verse]
D G
Then Noah looked out through the driving rain,
A D Dsus2
Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games.
D G
Kicking and splashing while the rain was pourin'
D A D
Oh, them silly unicorns!"
[Chorus]
D G
There were green alligators and long necked geese,
A D Dsus2
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
D G
Noah cried, "Close the door cause the rain's pourin'
D A D
And we just can't wait for those unicorn!"
[Instrumental]
D A D
[Verse]
D G
The ark started moving, it drifted with the tides,
A D Dsus2
Them unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried.
D G
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away,
And that's why ya never seen a unicorn to this very day.
[Chorus]
D G
You'll see green alligators and long necked geese,
A D Dsus2
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
D G
Some cats and rats elephants, but sure as you're born,
You're never gonna see no u--ni---corn
